Aeneas healed by Peter, Acts 9:32-35

Acts 9:32-35 – winter Dec-Feb AD??

Peter heals a bedridden man called Aeneas.

Maybe God allowed Peter to heal Aeneas so those who saw the healing would turn to Jesus as their Lord and God?

Aeneas lived in a town called Lydda which inland from Joppa which is on the coast. Joppa is the old port part of the modern Israeli city of Yafo, otherwise known as Jaffa which is part of the city of Tel Aviv means in Hebrew: the Hill of Spring.
